I use voice and data simultaneously ALL THE TIME. While that's not a deal-breaker for me, combine it with the good coverage I get with AT&T so Verizon doesn't have that advantage for me (but I acknowledge that their coverage is, by and large, superior to AT&T).
If Apple doesn't have an LTE phone ready to go with the iPhone 5 in August, they're making a HUGE mistake.

There is no way an LTE iPhoneis coming out this year. Verizon would be the only carrier with any real coverage for the phone as AT&T is a year behind them in rolling it out. AT&T would be stupid to ask/push Apple for this.
Now on the other hand, Apple is equally as stupid if they don't have an LTE phone come out as there will be a slew of Androids with dual cores out by June/July when iPhone's typically release.
However, looking at how Apple handled 3G, they may just wait for more carriers (in and out of US) to have LTE before they push it out, thus 2012.

Any word on a Droid 3? I really dont give a damn about the iPhone, I just want an LTE powered Droid. And my contract with Verizon will be up towards the end of the year.

So far CES demonstrated Motorola's Bionic and Atrix for Verizon and AT&T respectively as well as a few other LTE 4G phones. All of which won't see release until March at the earliest. Expect later though.
Bionic looks really nice though if you're on Verizon. Samsung also had a 4G LTE phone for Verizon, but it was unamed and not dual core. I also saw one from LG that looked interesting.
Hit up www.BGR.com and go down the history of posts past all the iPhone Verizon stuff to the CES Verizon show to see the phone's descriptions.
